WASHINGTON — NASA's acting administrator expects to decide on a new "top-level" structure for the agency within weeks, but a Senate-confirmed administrator may not be in place until next year.

Agency leadership, including acting administrator Janet Petro, held a town hall for NASA employees June 25. The town hall webcast was not open to the public but a recording of it was obtained by SpaceNews and separately posted online.

At the town hall, Petro said she was working on a reorganization of the agency that could change how the agency is structured and alter lines of reporting within it.

One approach would be to organize the agency through mission directorates, an approach that would appear similar to its current structure.

A second would be "center-centric" and revolve around its field centers. A third approach would be a "product line model," although she did not elaborate on what she considered NASA's product lines.
